For what it is worth, I have a Windows XP Athlon 2600 machine with 1GB RAM and a 100MBit LAN over CAT5, and a SuSE Linux dual Pentium III 1GHz machine with 1GB RAM running Samba 3.0.10. Actually, a very simple configuration.
I measured my transfer rate from the Linux box to the Windows box by copying a 1.8GB file. The transfer speed was 8.85MB/Sec, or 80% of the 100MBit rating of the network. A SCSI to EIDE ATA disk-to-disk transfer on the Linux box of the same file was 16.7MB/Sec. -- Mike Michael J.
